Arguments Turn into Life Lessons
The world is a big, scary place. I feel like the more you're thrown out to see for yourself, the more you learn about it. Near the end of the school year, I got a taste of how hard the world really is and how to fend for myself. Sometimes, you have to learn to do for yourself when you just feel like no one’s listening.
